Ant-Man/Giant-Man/Goliath/Wasp/Yellowjacket size changing is done in a fast as you can blink continuous motion in the comics which is something that doesn't look good on 2d paper but would look good in live action which is what Edgar Wright has said.

Often in the comics Ant-Mans fighting style was to shrink to avoid a enemy throwing a punch and then regrow and punch them back all in a flash. Something like that would look great on screen.

He utilized the element of surprise. The stealth aspect often worked for him.

I always thought Shrinking or growing isn't any more goofy than Mister Fantastic stretching when you think about it.

Will Pym or Lang use different ants like flying ants, fire ants, ect or create giant ants?

As Giant-Man/Goliath the growth process required the rapid acquisition of bodily mass, presumably from an extradimensional source. This extradimensional mass fortified all of his cellular tissue, including his bones and muscles, enabling him to support his increased weight, and giving him superhuman strength.

Being that Edgar Wright is directing I think we'll see a lot of quick cuts on screen. I'm betting the first time he suits up we'll see a montage of him zipping up his red jumpsuit putting on the belt grabbing the canisters and the helmet. As for how the powers work on screen I'm hoping we get something close to how Scott Pilgrim was shot. Bright lights and fast action.

minimize it or kinda make it a dark (but more transparent) version of the star trek Transporter effect. so it looks like "dust" swirling in a way.

I think, because film is such a visual medium, you really do have to show him shrinking/growing.

An instantaneous change, I feel, wouldn't translate particularly well for screen.

They can show a slow motion shrinking/ growing for the first few times. However, when he's using it in action to attack someone with the element of surprise, it should be done quickly, otherwise having it slowed down doesn't have the same effect.

Ant-Man in the comics maintains his proportional strength in the comics but does anyone else think they should perhaps give the movie version an upgrade by having the Pym Particles also unleash some sort of energy that gives him super strength like his namesake ants have?

But ants are also capable of some remarkable feats of strength for their diminutive size.

A leaf-cutter ant can carry a piece of leaf 50 times its own body weight which is the equivalent of Iranian Olympic weightlifting champion Hossein Rezazadeh carrying a medium-sized van.

Ugh... John Byrne's artwork. Who is that pink guy that Ant-Man is beating? He looks exactly like how Byrne drew the Hulk but with a different hairstyle and more pronounced brow.
